It depends quite what you are looking for. Do any of these help (sorry but I no longer have access to AIX so I'm a bit rusty!)
Code:
lspv
lspv -v
lspv -l
lsvpcfg # (possibly with a -l flag?)
lsdev -Cc disk # Bit of a long shot perhaps
lscfg -v|grep -i disk # Again, a bit of a guess
What are the metrics you are looking for? Is it the LPAR view of the assigned disk to the size of the disk that is owned by the hardware as a whole? The LPAR will not see that.
I hope that these suggestions give you something.

I have two Unix machines on the network and now one of them are running out of disk but i have alot on the other so i like to mount the disk (or a folder) from the one that has disk and mount it on the other that does not.
How do i do that? Is it possible i read the "man mount" but didn't really... (5 Replies)
Hi!!
I am these days working on a project, where I need to know about the disk controllers available in a machine (e.g., 3ware,IBM,etc).
Please, let me know the command by which I can get the information.
thnx,

Hi,
Is there an easy way to find the disk-type from the command line or with another api ? sdparm works for SAS but not for SATA, hdparm works for SATA but not SAS.

hi guys,
I don't like the new concept of the power ha 7 cluster with the repository disk and the internal solidb, I really would like to mirror this disk, but the "IBM PowerHA SystemMirror 7.1 for AIX" redbook says, normal lvm operations should not be performed on this disk.

Hi,
I have installed the HMC on the VMWare VM. I try to add the power machine (managed system) and asking for a password? So this is the IBM predefined password of Power Machine?
In the VMWare perspective, we can login to ESX host to do some management tasks. But how about the Power machine?... (6 Replies)

vxdmp - Veritas Volume Manager multipathing disk devices
DESCRIPTION
Multipathed disk devices in Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) represent virtual devices with one or more physical access paths to a physical
disk. The Multipathing feature provides disk access reliability by dynamically switching to another physical path if there is a path fail-
ure.
Every disk that is visible to VxVM is represented by a multipath device node in the /dev/vx/dmp and /dev/vx/rdmp directories for block type
and character type interfaces. A simple disk is represented by a multipath device having one physical path, whereas a disk that is part of
a multiported disk array is represented by a multipath device with many device access paths depending upon the type of the disk array.
VxVM uses standard disk device naming conventions to name multipath devices. For example, if there is a disk device with two physical
access paths such as c1t0d0 and c2t0d0, the multipathing device node for this particular disk is created under /dev/vx/dmp and /dev/vx/rdmp
as c1t0d0 or c2t0d0.
To provide multipathing, VxVM maintains an internal database of all the multipathed devices detected by the system and their respective
paths. The database is created at system boot time. When disks are added or removed from the system, VxVM provides support to reconfigure
the multipath device database to reflect new states of the hardware, while the system is online.
To reconfigure the DMP database, run ioscan followed by insf, and then invoke vxdctl enable (see vxdctl(1M)).
The various access paths to a multipathed device can be seen by using a vxdisk command (see vxdisk(1M)). These commands open the multi-
pathing configuration device /dev/vx/dmpconfig to obtain the required information about the various paths to a multipathed device and their
states.
VxVM also provides the facility to enable or disable a disk controller. This feature can be used to stop all I/Os through a particular con-
troller to perform maintenance operations on it. Use the vxdmpadm command to do this and also perform other operations on the multipath
device database.
VxVM can provide notification about events that occur in the DMP database due to a change in hardware. See the vxnotify(1M) man page for
more information.
VxVM is capable of multipathing both Active/Active and Active/Passive disk arrays.
